After waiting an hour for a GM, I got in touch with an +SGM+, who promptly investigated the issue.

The issue turned out to be, that you can't have Chapter 1 underway, (or presumably completed) to get the quest to bestow.

Forwards have always been something we could do concurrently. I for one, didnt want to miss out on any potential voice-overs or quest-text.

I cancelled the 3.10.1 and accepted the quest, letting the +SGM+ know that worked.

The SGM asked if there was anything else he could do, so I jokingly remarked he could declare me unfashionable and grant the appropriate bag for my head, but alas, my dwarf apparently is too fashionable! I'm never on one of my unfashionable characters when I need a GM =/

For those of you who may not be completionists: There's no significant dialogue, or quest reward from this quest. There are no voice-overs. The IXP was minimal =) Still I like to do everything!

Yeah, this makes sense -- really the Foreword in this case is just a way to remind people where Book 9 ended, rather than a significant addition to the story. If you guys prefer having Forewords like this available regardless, I can see about doing that instead.

Yes, please. I often rush in with new parts of the story and end up a bit out of order and I do like your epic quests MoL. Even the prologues so if this was possible I'd be happy.

(I have been known to go back at level 50 to pick up bits of the epic I missed at level 10. And I recently finished volume 2 epic in Angmar-all the fellowship stuff I couldn't do when I levelled my main minstrel-so I finally 'got' the whole story arc that comes into play later.)

Oh! DJHeydt, by the way you go to Entwade Crossing to meet your boat companions again to start the epic book 10 chapter 1 -the auto bestow is another quest line from Harding. But I don't know how you get the prologue if you start with the auto bestow. Very confusing!

If the Foreward, in this case, is not able to be "accepted" after completing any of the chapters, can it please be not given at all and no longer be displayed in the "quest ready to bestow" notification slot. Having it stuck there with no way to delete it is a bit annoying...

I'm thinking of deleting it entirely, but I'll have to see if that'll be okay.

If it will be auto-bestowing, can you please share any information that might help us trigger it? Does it only happen in a certain region or place?

It's really not a significant quest. Its sole reason for being was to remind people that Book 9 ended at the crossing of the Entwash, in the Sutcrofts -- that's all it does. It's supposed to bestow when you're Level 85 and have finished III.9.9, but since it isn't doing that consistently it's dead to me. :P

Now I just need to figure out how to safely remove it from the people that did manage to get it.

Wildermore Forward

Apparently, I was already running Chapter 1 when I was offered the Forward because, the NPC who I was sposta talk to didn't have a ring to grant the quest...Now, I've finished all the Epic line (including the session plays) and the Quest Button remains on my screen to do the Foreward...can't Accept, can't Decline, and, can't get rid of the darn thing....ugh

I have the same issue with the auto-bestow button hanging on my UI and not allowing me to accept or cancel the quest. It takes up valuable UI space. I pushed it all the way down into the lower right hand corner but now I keep missing warband bestows. It's really annoying but thankfully it doesn't prevent you from picking up the epic quest line and completing it.
